THE EVE OF THE CONFLICT.
Bismarck Thunders Again and Confus.
ion Reisns in the Reich>tag-iIis
Speeches Read Like War bulletins in
Vienna.
LONDON, Jan. l3.

LONDON, Jan. l3.
despatch to the Times of this morning
says that the struggle with France may vet
be averted but the speeches in the Reichstag
leave no room for doubt that Germany is on
the eve Of recurrence of the conflict era"
that preceded the Danish and Austrian cam.
paign.
BERLIN. Jan. l3.
In the course of his speech in the Reichstag
yesterday Prince Bismarck said he would
never have interfered in the Caroline Islands
affair If he had known that Spain would OBJ
ject He asked DR. Windthorst whether he
believed the Catholic constituencies would
elect opposition deputies when the Cutark-
ampf was settled and the Pope had made
peace with the German government.
Herr Hazenclever declared on behalf of the
Socialists that they would oppose every in
crease of the army. He vehementv crticise ed
the contemptuous manner in which the chsa.
cellor reforfed to the Reichstag and said that
| in every other Parliament in the world a
minister who so treated the mai lrity would
be forced TO resign
The chairman at once called Hezancleyer
to order.
Both Hezenclever and Windthurst re-
preached Bismarck for his blunt expla
of German and French relations, which they
Bismarck made no reply.
The National Zertung says: Although
our relations are good, the relations existing
between Austria and Russia might en,angle
Germany in war with Russia
VIENNA, Jan. l3.
Bismarck's speech was read plec meal in
the public resorts in Vienna, creating as
much of sensation as so many war bulle-
tins.
BERLIN, Jan. Is.
In the Reichstag today Prime. Bismarck
commented harshlg on the Inconsistency of
the course followed by several newspapers
who had critic zed the government. Among
other things he said: The papers even ask
us to use our soldiers to bar RussIa's road to
Constantinople. To do this it would .rhaps
be in England's interests, but we have dIf-
hcult task to maintain peace and act per-
mantly as mediator between the two pow
ers, both our friends. Had | acted in 1867 at
the tp)ch Of the Luxemburg question not AS
mediator but in the manner in which have
been asked to do now, | should not have had
to meet one bloody war alone but many. In
years to come if Russia attacks US then we
must and shall defend ourselves to the last
drop of blood. AS the matter stands Russia
has no cause to attack us nor have we any
cause to attack Russia"

See advertisement of John Shorts. a
friend in Winchester asks us to call atten-
ton 10 the fact that John Shorts is prepar-
ed to appease the appetites of those who
have them and will call on him at his Eat
ing House, Post Office Avenve, Winchester.
John Shorts is a respectable colOred man,
who has spent lifetime nearly, cooking
He was our cook in the army for two years
of the late war, and could make dainty
dishes out of very scant material some
times. and his meals were relished by Con-
federate soldiers of high and low degree.
Oh. YES. we commend John Shorts to all
who visit Wine hester and desire lunch or
a regular meal-and especially fried oysters
in season. He is nice and polite, and every
way worthy of encouragement-we are
sure. tho we haven't seen him for years.
John is Short by name, and short in stat
ure, but he's a giant when it comes to broil-
ing steak-at least it used to be so and
twenty-five additional years of experience
are not likely to spoil cook.

EDITOR FREE PRESS The SPIRIT of this
week calls attention 10 the great need OF
providing an immediate remedy for the
evils caused by the overflow of Evitt's Run.
At present there is no difnite plan propos-
ed. The cost of an efficient plan might at
first so startle taxpayers as to cause them to
unwisely refuse the relief. But why should
the "Run District" remain by-wOrd when
comparatively moderate expenditure Of
the taxpayers money would make that a
desirable section of the town? Let the
proper authorities carefully and fully esti-
mate the cost of the work, and if deemed
inexpedient to undertake all Of the work
this year, let a portion OF it be done on a
general plan of the whole work, and from
time to time finish it as speedily as possible.
Other towns have had similar experiences
and have made the requisite improvements.
The fact of Evitt's Run passing but short
way through the town makes our case IA
vorable one. This improvement If COM
pared with others of the town, surely pre-
sents the most urgent demand at this time.

We see by the West Virginia Democrat
that "some young men of this place have
organized social club" Most people of
mature years know what social clubs are in
the great cities. We are sorry to linda dis
position in our midst by some to ape city
customs in this particular. We asked a
Young man the object of the social club
lust organized. His reply was Well,
they've rented the billiard sal Don, and have
a couple of billiard or pool tables, and ex-
pect to get card tables. &C." If this be so
we hope the social club" will be very
close corporation-will be so exclusive
that the bulk of the boys and young men OF
the community may not participate in its
enioyments. Apropos-we reproduce par
agraph from the Alcrandria Gazette:
'Tf those young men in this section of
country who drink beer, smoke cigarettes,
play pool and other games, and who spend
the remainder of their time in reading flash
novels and in bewailing the late that cast
their lot Gin state in which there is no
chance for man to rise and prosper" only
knew what they are Cabling about, they
would know that the same amount OF econ
omy, hard work and brains will produce
the same effect in Virginia as anywhere else
in this country, and that with their habits
and mode of life their fate would be the same,
no matter where their lot was cast. If they
would be content to live here as they would
have 10 do i'm the west, or wherever else
they might go, and work as hard, they
would soon see how easily and rapidly their
condition would be improved"
